Thanks to everyone who shared last week’s Pigtown Listings. The whole purpose of this blog is to help spread the word about events in our city. The more people that share the links, the more chance someone might stumble across it, see an event that interests them and head along. And, as a good friend of mine says, if you go to things, there will be more things. So onto this week. And what a week we have lined up. In a week with Denise Chaila, the Coronas and Paolo Nutini, the competition for our Pigtown Pick of the Week Continue Reading

Well, we definitely didn’t think we’d be here so quickly, did we? It looks like Covid restrictions are being lifted. With that in mind, I thought it was a good time to resurrect the Pigtown Listings.

Also, remember that event/venue staff are going to be under a lot of pressure in the coming days – don’t be a gowl and add to the stress. All week Celebrating one Continue Reading
